MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / November 2004Multi- Select
I'm using Outlook 2003. I have a list box using Keywords. It seems the multi-select option of single, extended, multi in advanced properties has no affect. Should it and what affect would these be. srm > I'm using Outlook 2003. I have a list box using Keywords.

As I recall, that's how to get the multi-select to work. Hollis D.

It seems I have, but I'm not sure what option this would be. Selecting single, extended, multi in advanced properties of the multi-select option all allow me to select multiple items in the list. That is what I'm confused about that when I set this to single, I can stil select multiple items. srm > > I'm using Outlook 2003. I have a list box using Keywords.

I think the unexpected behavior comes from using a Keywords type field. It is instructive to create a test form and assign a listbox to the Categories field. You can, in effect, assign and remove categories from the item just by checking and unchecking the boxes. More gets done behind the scenes with Keyword fields than one would expect. If, however, you design a click handler for the control, you might see more normal behavior with the advance properties. In this case, you are stealing the click event, and not letting it by used by the private code of the Outlook application. Hollis D.

It sounds like without coding I need to use the List Box with keywords, but I lose some functionality. If I group the list box and have multiple items selected, it separates each item out into its own band. For example, if I have A, B, C, D and an item has A and D, the item is shown in a group of A and D instead of "A/D". I also seem to lose sorting on the list box field. srm > > That is what I'm confused about that when I set > > this to single, I can stil select multiple items.
